Defining the characteristics of interferon-alpha-stimulated human genes: insight from expression data and machine learning.

ISGs have some unique properties that make them different from the non-ISGs. The representation of some properties has a strong correlation with gene expression following IFN-α stimulation, which can be used as a predictive feature in machine learning. Our model predicts several genes as putative ISGs that so far have shown no significant differential expression when stimulated with IFN-α in the cell/tissue types in the available databases. A web server implementing our method is accessible at http://isgpre.cvr.gla.ac.uk/. The docker image at https://hub.docker.com/r/hchai01/isgpre can be downloaded to reproduce the prediction.
